 What I Need to Know

THE EMERGENCE OF SOCIAL

MODULE SCIENCE DISCIPLINES

Social science history is dedicated to the study of social theory within an

empirical historical context.

What is Social Science?

Social science is a discipline or branch of science that deals with human
behavior in its social and cultural aspects. It includes Cultural (or Social) Anthropology,
Sociology, Social Psychology, Political Science, Geography, Demography,
Linguistics, History and Economics. Also, it frequently includes social and economic
geography and those areas of education that deal with the social context of learning
and the relation of the school to the social order.
The term “social science” did not appear until the 19th century, when Social
Sciences begun to be recognized as distinct disciplines. However, the origins of their
ideas and goals go back further in time.

These modules have the following lessons:

Lesson 1 – Anthropology
Lesson 2 – Linguistics
Lesson 3 – Sociology
Lesson 4 – Historical Context of the Emergence of each Discipline

Each lesson includes the following:

• Introduction/Learning Objectives
• Lesson Exploration
• Lesson Activity
• Task/s

1
 How do you use this Module?

In this module, you are required to go through a series of learning activities

in order to complete each learning outcome.

To get the most from this Module, you need to do the following:

1. Begin by reading and understanding the Most Essential Learning Competencies

and Learning Objectives. These will tell you what you should know and be able
to do at the end of every lesson.

2. Find out what you already know by taking the Pre-test then check your answers
against the Answer Key. If you get 100% correct in the pre- assessment, skip
the lesson. This means that you need not to go through the lesson, because you
already know what it is all about. But if you only get 50% to 99% correct, then
proceed with the lesson.

3. Do the required Learning Activities. They begin with mini lessons. The mini-
lesson contains important notes or basic information that you need to know. After
reading and understanding the mini-lesson, test yourself on how much you
learned by answering the varied activities. Refer to the Answer Key for
correction. Do not hesitate to go back to the lesson when you do not get all the
test items correctly. This will ensure your mastery of basic information.

4. It is not enough that you acquire content or information. You must be able to
demonstrate what you have learned by accomplishing the activity found on
“What I Can Do”. In other words, you must apply what you have learned in real
life.

5. To test how well you performed, accomplish the scoring rubrics.

6. Finally, answer the Post Assessment to test and measure the learnings you
have acquired in this lesson.

Each Lesson also provides you with glossary and references for your guide.

 What’s In

Political Science, Linguistics, Psychology, Sociology and Demography are

some of the branches of Social Sciences which intersect with each other in order to
understand and create a better society. These branches or disciplines have its own
focus in their respective fields.
Political Science focuses on “who gets what, when, and how”. Linguistics
focuses on different ways in communication between people in the society, which can
be verbal or non-verbal. Psychology, on the other hand, focuses on the behavior and
mental processes of individuals. Sociology focuses on the study of human social life,
groups and societies. While Demography is a branch of Sociology, that studies human
behavior by analyzing statistical information.

What’s New

ANTHROPOLOGY, ECONOMICS,
LESSON1 GEOGRAPHY AND HISTORY

When did the idea of Social Science start?

The history of social sciences has the origin in the common stock of Western
philosophy and shares various precursors, but begun mostly intentionally in the early
19th century with the positivist philosophy of science. This philosophy of science is a
branch of philosophy concerned with the foundation, methods and implications of
science while positivism is a philosophical theory stating that certain (positive)
knowledge is based on natural phenomena and their properties and relations.
However, knowing when the idea of social science began and how the idea of
social science was developed will take us further than the 19th century.

6
Historical Context of the Emergence of each Discipline
Let’s read and take note.

Anthropology
Anthropology, is the study of all aspects of human life and culture. It examines
such topics as how people live, what they think, what they produce and how they
interact with their environments. Anthropologists try to understand the full range of
human diversity as well as what people share in common.

What is the historical foundation of Anthropology?

Anthropology traces its roots to ancient Greek historical and philosophical
writings about human nature and organization of human society. Anthropologists ask
basic questions such as: When, where and how did humans evolve? How do people
adapt to their new environments? How did societies develop and change from the
ancient past to the present? Answers to these questions can help us understand what
it means to be human. They can also help us learn ways to meet the present-day
needs of people all over the world and plan how we might live in the future.

Fields of Anthropology:

• Cultural Anthropology
• Linguistic Anthropology
• Archaeology
• Physical Anthropology

The European Age of Enlightenment of the 17th and 18th centuries marked the
rise of scientific and rational philosophical thought. Enlightenment thinkers, such as
Scottish-born David Hume, John Locke of England and Jeanne Jacques Rousseau of
France, wrote a number of humanistic works of the nature of humankind. They based
their work on philosophical reason rather than religious authority and asked important
anthropological questions. Rousseau, for instance, wrote on moral qualities of
“primitive” societies and about human inequality. But most writers of the enlightenment
period also lacked first-hand experience with non-Western culture.

ECONOMICS
Economics was first conceived as the study of the allocation of resources within
household levels. Its origin can be traced back to two ancient Greek words: oikos
(house) and nomos (custom or law), referring to the rules implemented in the
household to ensure its efficient management. In the 19th century the discipline was
recognized as “political economy”, in reference to its slant towards an analysis of
systematic exchanges that include production rate, labor relations and commodity
consumption. It was only during the turn of the century that the word political dropped

7
and the term economy was used to refer to the discipline that studies the interaction
of economic agents and the systems in which they perform their transaction.
Economic thought goes as far back as the ancient Greeks and is known to have
been an important topic in the ancient Middle East. However, today, Scottish thinker
Adam Smith is widely credited for creating the field of economics. He was inspired by
French writers who shared his hatred of mercantilism. The development of modern
nationalism during the 16th century shifted attention to the problem of increasing the
wealth and power of various nation-states. The dominant economic practice during
that time was mercantilism, which allowed strict government regulation of trade within
its territories.
Mercantilists valued gold and silver as an index of national power. Without the
gold and silver mines in the New world from which Spain drew riches, a nation could
accumulate these precious metals only by selling more merchandize to foreigners that
it bought from them. This favorable balance of trade necessarily compelled foreigners
to cover their deficit by shipping gold and silver. Mercantilists took for granted that their
own country was either at war with its neighbors, recovering from a recent conflict or
getting ready to plunge into a new war.

GEOGRAPHY
Geography is defined as the study of the physical feature of the earth, its
atmosphere and of human activity as it affects and is affected by these, including the
distribution of populations and resources, land use and industries. The word
geography (earth description) was adopted in 200 B.C. by the Greek scholar
Eratosthenes. It has the following branches such as:

• Physical Geography – The scientific study of the natural features of the Earth’s
surface, especially in its current aspects, including land formation, climate, currents
and distribution of flora and fauna. This includes the following fields: geomorphology,
climatology, biogeography, soil geography/soil management, hydrography,
oceanography and cartography.

• Cultural Geography – is the study of many cultural aspects found throughout the
world and how they relate to the spaces and places where they originate and then
travel as people continually move across various areas. This is sometimes called
human geography. Cultural Geography includes the following fields: economic
geography, natural resources, manufacturing industries, marketing studies and
political geography.

• Military geography – is a sub-field of geography that is used by the military, as well

as academics and politicians, to understand the geopolitical sphere through the military
lens. It provides military leaders with information about areas in which they may need
to operate. The many other fields of military geography includes ethnography, historical
geography, urban geography, demography and linguistic geography.

8
 In order for us to understand the geography of past times and how geography
has played an important role in the evolution of people, their ideas, places and
environments, we have to develop a mental map of our community, province, territory
or country and the world so that we can understand the “where” of places and events.
Earlier geography was concerned with exploring unknown areas and with
describing the observable feature of different places. Ancient people such as Chinese,
Egyptians and Phoenicians made long journeys and recorded their observation of
strange lands. One of the first known maps was made of clay tablet in Babylonia about
2300 B.C. By 1400 B.C., the shores of the Mediterranean Sea had been explored and
charted. During the next thousand years, early explorers visit Britain and navigated
most of the African coast. The Ancient Greeks, on the other hand, gave the Western
world its first important knowledge relating to the form, size and general feature of
Earth.

HISTORY AND HISTORIOGRAPHY

History, in its broad sense, is the totality of all past events, although a more
realistic definition would limit it to the known past while Historiography is the study of
the methods of historians in developing history as an academic discipline and by
extension, is a body of historical work on a particular subject. It is also the written
record of what is known of human lives and societies in the past and how historians
have attempted to understand it.
Historians have looked more and more to social science – sociology,
psychology, anthropology and economics – for new methods and forms of
explanation; the sophisticated use of quantitative data has become the accepted
approach to economic and demographic studies. At the same ti me, during the
influence of Marxist theory, many scholars have sharpened interest to the
theoretical foundation of historical knowledge and are reconsidering the relation
between imaginative literature and history, with the possibility emerging that
history may after all be the literary art that works upon scholarly material.

What is It

The historical context of the emergence of Anthropology, economics,

geography and History play a vital role in our society in the present and
future generation. It connects our present from our past and tells who
we are and what we are in the society.

The Historical Context of Emergence of each Discipline

Let’s read and take note.

LINGUISTICS
Linguistics is the scientific study of language. It encompasses the description
of language, the study of their origin, the analysis of how children acquire knowledge
and how people learn languages other than their own. Across cultures, the early
history of linguistics is associated with a need to disambiguate discourse, especially
for ritual texts or in arguments. This often led to explorations of sound-meaning
mappings, and the debate over conventional versus naturalistic origins for these
symbols. Finally, this led to the processes by which larger structures are formed from
units.

12
 The history of Linguistics is bound up with various theories which have been
proposed in the attempt at explaining the nature of the human language faculty. These
theories can be grouped into three broad categories which correspond roughly to
historical epochs.

Orientation Period
0) non-theoretical studies before the 19th century
1) Historical Linguistics 19th century
2) Structuralism first half of 20th century
3) Generative Grammar second half of 20th century

In the early 20th century, Linguistics expanded to include the study of unwritten
languages. In the United States, Linguists and Anthropologists began to study the
rapidly disappearing languages of Native North Americans because many of these
languages are unwritten. Researchers could not use historical analysis in their studies.
In their pioneering research on these languages, anthropologists Franz Boas and
Edward Sapir developed the techniques of Descriptive Linguistics and theorized on
the ways in which languages shape our perceptions of the world.

POLITICAL SCIENCE
Political Science is the systematic study of governance by the application of
empirical and generally scientific methods of analysis. As traditionally defined and
studied, Political Science examines the state and its organs and institutions. The
contemporary discipline, however, is considerably broader than this, encompassing
studies of all the societal, cultural and physiological factors that mutually influence the
operation of government and the body of politics.
The systematic study of politics dates back into ancient times. The oldest legal
and administrative code that survived in its entirety is the Code of Hammurabi,
inscribed in the pillar black of black basalt. Hammurabi, a Babylonian king who ruled
from 1792 to 1750 BC, described the laws in his code as enabling “stable government
and good rule”. Hammurabi’s justification indicates that the reasoning behind the code
was political as well as legal.
Contemporary Political Science traces its roots primarily to the 19th century,
when the rapid growth of natural sciences stimulated the enthusiasm for the creation
of new social science. Capturing this fervor of scientific optimism was Antoine-Louis-
Claude, Comte Destutt de Tracy (1754-1836), who in the 1790s coined the term
“ideology” for his “science of ideas”, which he believed could perfect society.
Although Political Science, like all other modern sciences, involves empirical
investigation, it generally does not produce precise measurements and predictions.
This has led some scholars to question whether the discipline can be accurately
described as a science. However, if the term science applies to any body of
systematically organized knowledge used on facts ascertained by empirical methods

13
and described by as much measurement as the material allows, then Political Science
is a science, like other social disciplines.

PSYCHOLOGY
Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and the mind. This definition
contains three elements such as:
• Psychology is a scientific enterprise that obtains knowledge through systematic
and objective methods of observation and experimentation.
• Psychologist studies behavior, which refers to any action or reaction that can
be measured or observed – such as the blink of an eye, an increase in heart
rate or the unruly violence that often erupts in a mob.
• Psychologists study the mind, in which, refers to both conscious and
unconscious mental states. These states cannot actually be seen only inferred
from observable behavior.

From about 600 to 300 B.C., Greek philosophers inquired about a wide range
of psychological topics. They were especially interested in the nature of knowledge
and how human beings come to know the world. This field of philosophy is known as
Epistemology. The Greek philosopher Socrates and his followers, Plato and Aristotle,
wrote about pleasure, pain, knowledge, beauty, desire, free will, motivation, common
sense, rationality, memory and subjective nature of perception.

SOCIOLOGY
Sociology is the scientific study of human social relation or group of life. The
first definition of Sociology was by the French philosopher Auguste Comte. In 1838
Comte coined the term Sociology to describe his vision of a new science that would
discover laws of human society, resembling the laws of nature by applying the
methods of factual investigation that has proven so successful in the physical
sciences. The British philosopher Herbert Spencer adopted Comte’s term and his
mission.
Sociology, as a scholarly discipline, emerged primarily out of Enlightenment
thought as a positivist science of study, shortly after the French Revolution. Its genesis
owed to various key movements in the philosophy of science and philosophy of
knowledge, arising in reaction to such issues as modernity, capitalism, urbanization,
rationalization, secularization, colonization and imperialism.

DEMOGRAPHY
Demography is the study of human populations – their size, composition and
distribution across space, and the process through which population changes. Births,
deaths and migration are three important concepts in demography, jointly producing
population stability or change. Its analysis can cover whole societies or groups defined
by criteria such as education, nationality, religion and ethnicity.

14
 For most of the 19th century, demographic studies continued to emphasize the
phenomenon of mortality; it was not until demographers noted that a considerable
decline of fertility had taken place in the industrialized countries during the second half
of 19th century, that they began to study fertility and reproduction with much interest
as they studied mortality. The phenomenon of differential fertility, with its implications
about selection and more particularly about the evolution of intelligence, evoked
widespread interest as shown in Charles Darwin’s theories and in the works of Francis
Galton. During the period between the two world wars, demography took on a broader
interdisciplinary character.
